What Do the Filipino Freethinkers Do?

We practice a healthy mix of action, education, and discourse—demonstrating our support for a cause we believe in; enlightening the public online or through forums and lectures; and simply hanging out and giving voice to our opinions.

Of course, we also make it a point to continue our education, holding field trips to museums and exhibits, and attending lay forums such as the Café Scientifique series of lectures.

DISCOURSE

We wouldn’t be where we are without our fortnightly meetups. Since February 2009, the Filipino Freethinkers have been meeting every other week for a few hours of friendly—and usually rowdy—discussion. Topics are very varied, and often timely—the ethics behind the latest scientific discoveries, the consequences of certain current events, suggestions for improving our society on both small and grand scales, etc. To date, each meetup sees an average of 30 attendees, which always includes a handful of newcomers.
